survival in the wilderness

When Lin Yan arrived, Shui Sheng was immersed in calculations. He had to calculate carefully and spend every penny wisely.

"Don't forget it, there is only so much money, no matter how much you save, it won't be enough."

Shuisheng didn't even raise his head, and kept moving his hands, but he said: "I naturally know that it is better to save a little. No amount of money is enough now. Every day when I open my eyes, I need money, what can I do. "

His tone was full of resentment. God knew that road construction was such a huge waste of money, so why did he just dive into it?

Ever since he started working, he was spending money like water every day. When he looked at the bill, he only felt a strong sense of malice hitting his face.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "I know you're in trouble, so I'm not here to help you out. Take a look."

As she spoke, she handed over a few pieces of paper, which were densely written with words.

Shuisheng quickly scanned it and laughed loudly: "Yes, you have done a good thing, which can alleviate the urgent need."

Lin Yan was unconvinced and said, "I've always done good things. With this money, you can sleep peacefully."

What she sent was a huge sum of money, enough to support the cost of repairing Xitian Road this year.

Shui Sheng said hurriedly: "I said something wrong. Where did this money come from?"

90, so you don’t have to worry about saving some money to build roads.He was curious about how Lin Yan got such a large amount of money back quietly.

Mentioning this, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Ye Xinghui and the others went to Dongli Dynasty and brought a batch of supplies. They sold them at a high price and the money will be sent back soon."

"Blood leaf vine?" Shuisheng remembered. After Lin Yan and Lan Yue came back, they made a trip to Mingzhou and brought back a batch of blood leaf vines.

At that time, everyone was shocked when they heard about the sky-high price of Blood Leaf Vine in Dongli Dynasty.Being busy lately, he had forgotten about it.

"Tiangong is developing smoothly there?"

Lin Yan nodded, "Yes, Blood Leaf Vine has made a lot of money. The supplies they brought there are all scarce goods. Sea salt can be sold for 50 taels per pound, which is an absolute huge profit. A piece of cotton cloth sells for six cents in the alliance, over there Ten taels of silver. Tiangong opened several shops in Western Sichuan County, and business was booming."

Shuisheng's eyes widened in surprise, "If you calculate it this way, the income from the blood leaf vine alone will be nearly one million. This is a steady way to make money. As long as it can be stabilized, it can completely solve the financial deficit. "

There are hundreds of millions of people in Tianduan Mountain, and the daily necessities produced by the alliance are in short supply there. As long as the trade is maintained and there is no money to use, you can definitely make a lot of money.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Shuisheng stood up and spun around excitedly.In the past few years, they all know how difficult it is to boost domestic demand in the league.

Anzhou and Yongzhou have large populations but no money for consumption, which caused the alliance's economy to be depressed for a time.

Things are different now. Foreign trade can solve problems very well.

As long as the goods produced can be sold, people can make money. After making money, they will naturally consume and send their children to school.

Lin Yan said with a smile: "In addition to bringing you good news, I also want to tell you that the Ministry of Finance has set up a separate department to manage the accounting transactions of Tiangong. Money touches people's hearts, and this way of making money is related to the development of the alliance. , there is no room for error.”

Shuisheng said without hesitation: "Don't worry, I'll find someone right away." As long as you have money, you can do anything.

In addition to the Ministry of Finance, the Audit Office also needs to find people to participate and supervise each other. This is a common practice.

Seeing Shui Sheng being so busy, Lin Yan didn't want to stay and be annoyed, and simply went to the road construction site.The eastern section of Xitian Road, from Sun City to Star City.The section starting from Sun City has been extended for hundreds of miles since construction started half a month ago.

Lin Yan did not ride a horse, only Yun Ying accompanied him. With their own speed, the two quickly caught up with the cultivators.

Driving along at a fast pace, the road widened to six meters has been paved with porcelain, the road surface is smooth, and the drainage ditches on the roadside have been dug.

Where drainage ditches could not be dug, sewer pipes were buried underground.

This renovation will cost a lot of money and the quality of the road must be ensured. After the cement hardens later, the speed will be increased several times.

Everyone was flattered by the arrival of Lin Yan and Yun Ying.

Rong Dashan, the person in charge of this section of the road, recognized Lin Yan and Yun Ying at a glance.
He never expected that the alliance leader would appear in front of him, and he stared blankly for a while, not daring to move.

It took him a while to realize what he was doing, and he hurried over and said tremblingly: "Leader, why are you here?"

The leader of the alliance has so many things to do every day, and there are so many important things waiting for her to deal with, why would she show up at the road construction site?The place is messy and noisy. The workers building the road this time are all poor people at the lowest level. They have no regard for etiquette. How can the leader see this?

Lin Yan smiled and lowered his voice: "Road construction is a big deal, so take the time to come and take a look. How are you? Is everything going well?"

"It's all going well. There are many people and machinery to help, so the speed is very fast. In another half a month, this section of the road will be smooth and can be hardened with cement. In two days, the needed cement will be delivered. We We’re all waiting.”

Rong Dashan is a serious and responsible person who fulfills his duties.He knows everything well and can talk freely about his work.

Lin Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work. Did you encounter many ferocious beasts? What were the casualties?"

When mentioning the ferocious beasts, Rong Dashan looked terrified, "Since we left Sun City twenty miles away, ferocious beasts kept coming. At first, we were unprepared and injured more than a dozen people. Later, we got used to it and got better. With the army The people from the Ministry have been patrolling this area, and they have not encountered any vicious beasts in the past few days."

"Where are the injured people?"

"Over there, those who are not seriously injured and can still move are all working. They do the light work such as cooking, washing dishes, laundry, and building sheds."

Lin Yan personally visited the injured and confirmed that they were not seriously injured and would recover after a while.

She saw a young man working as a coolie and asked Rong Dashan: "How old is he?"

Rong Dashan's expression changed, but he still said truthfully: "14 years old. Leader, please listen to me."

"Okay, tell me." Lin Yan was not in a hurry to attack, his expression was as usual, as if he was asking casually.

Rong Dashan felt relieved and explained: "The child's name is Ma Xiaoshi, and he came with his mother, who is a cook. The two of them depended on each other and had a difficult life, so they found work in road construction. His mother followed everyone to build roads, and Ma Xiaoshi helped with some work when she had nothing to do. I couldn't just watch him work in vain, so I gave him half the salary. "

"Despite his young age, he is in good health and has the strength to work. He is never lazy and everyone likes him very much. Leader, I have also reported Ma Xiaoshi's special situation to the superiors above. It is not an illegal recruitment. minor."

When building the road, it was clearly stipulated that minors were not allowed to be employed. Rong Dashan knew the importance, so he asked the leader to give special permission to pay Ma Xiaoshi, otherwise the little guy would still work with everyone in vain.

Lin Yan nodded to express his understanding and did not ask any further questions.
